Some Things Left Unsaid
A woman of strength,
patience and hope.
Lord knows you've had to sacrifice.
I wonder how you cope.
You fill yourself with faith,
compassion and love.
When it's all too much to handle,
do you need to look above?
In Him do you find
the courage to go on,
when the times get too rough
and the days feel too long?
So many things you carry
on your shoulders, in your heart.
So much of you will be with me,
though miles and miles apart.
I've taken things for granted,
without a second thought.
Looking at the past,
there are many battles we have fought.
Through struggles and accomplishments,
you've been there by my side.
Just know that I am here for you.
In me, you can confide.
It's hard to stay so positive,
when the world starts to crumble.
I'll be there to pick you up,
if ever you should stumble.
I appreciate and love you
more than you may see.
If it wasn't for you, mother,
I wouldn't be me.
